Give a Howl: Donate. Share. Shape the Future!

The University of West Georgia is excited to launch Give a Howl, our spring crowdfunding campaign from Monday, April 14, through Monday, April 28! This is your chance to make a direct impact on the future of UWG by supporting the college or school that means the most to you. Whether you're a proud graduate of University College or another area of UWG, your gift will help shape the experiences of our students and inspire the next generation of Wolves!    

The best part? There’s a friendly competition between each college and school to see who can raise the most funds by the end of the campaign! So, make your donation, spread the word, and share the Give a Howl campaign with your social networks. Let's show our Wolf Pack pride and come together to make a difference! 

Your gift – no matter the size – helps UWG thrive and ensures the success of current and future students. Let’s donate, share, and shape the future together!   

We're howling for these accolades of University College: 

For Emily Allison, textbooks and classes weren’t enough. She wanted to put her knowledge into practice. And that’s exactly what she did during her recent internship with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Through this experience, she gained invaluable insight into criminal investigations and forensic work, preparing her for a future career in law enforcement or legal studies. 

The Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) Department is all about innovation, and this year, students took that creativity one step further. During a hands-on workshop at The Garage, IDS students came together to design and develop a brand-new sign for their program. This student-led initiative not only strengthened their collaboration and design skills but also left a lasting mark on campus. 

Education has the power to change lives, and Dr. Tiffany Parsons and Dr. Abigail Kolb are making sure that opportunity reaches even further. In October 2024, they secured $441,000 in grants for UWG’s Prison Education Program, followed by another $50,000 grant in April. These funds are expanding educational access for incarcerated individuals, reinforcing UWG’s commitment to learning for all.
